As banks set the tone for AI adoption, senior executives rethink hiring
Canada’s banks have not disclosed significant job cuts caused by AI adoption. “We keep iterating on adding the new skills and adjusting what some of the roles do, but we don’t make those roles go away yet, because we still have lots of work we need to get through.” The financial industry has been faster to adopt AI than most sectors in Canada. More than 30 per cent of finance and insurance firms are using AI, compared with just 1.5 per cent of businesses in accommodation and food services.
